Financial Controller E-commerce Group

Everest is building the example company of what humans and AI can achieve. We acquire consumer brands and build the operating systems to run them at a higher standard: faster execution, cleaner decisions, better economics, and compounding improvement across a portfolio.

We treat digital work as automatable by default. If a task can be performed in software, it should be handled by autonomous systems and agents. Our job is to give agents the right context, clean inputs, and clear constraints. This is non-negotiable. It is the operating assumption we build on.

We are looking for a Financial Controller who owns the financial engine end to end, and understands how it connects to the operating machine around it. At our stage, these are the same conversations: inventory financing drives purchasing, supplier terms drive margins, and fulfilment costs hit cash flow directly. You own the full loop: cash in, product moved, cash out, reported cleanly and in real time.

You:

• Own the group's financial reporting: the reliable source for all financial data, with dashboards and alerts so we always see exactly what is happening

• Run the monthly and quarterly close, with clean, auditable numbers across every brand

• Manage funding and cash flow: loans, credit lines, inventory financing, supplier terms

• Set and maintain operating cadence for financial reviews: weekly, monthly, quarterly rhythms that keep every brand on track

• Map and improve financial processes so AI agents can handle them fully and outperform normal standards

• Turn problems and manual work into stronger agentic systems that keep improving

• Track key financial metrics for agents and humans: margins, cash cycle, waste spots

• Lead financial due diligence for acquiring new brands: valuation, deal structuring, post-close integration

• Build the financial integration playbook for bringing new brands onto the group's shared operating backbone

• Take financial and reporting pressure off the CEO

1. Proven experience running finance in e-commerce, ideally DTC brands, with a solid grasp of the operations behind the numbers

2. Strong finance background: financial reporting, cash flow management, and close processes; experience across multiple companies or countries is a plus

3. Ability to turn messy financial processes into clear, high-performance systems

4. Good with tools and automation: ERP, dashboards, integrations

5. Experience with M&A due diligence, investor relationships and banking relationships is strongly preferred

6. Accurate, fast, calm under pressure

7. High energy, low ego, direct communication

8. Based in or willing to relocate to Amsterdam is strongly preferred

9. Fluent in English; German is a strong plus given our DACH-focused portfolio
